What Our Members Are Saying

Testimonials

"I joined NIFDA after running my business for 12 years. I thought I knew everything I needed to know about flags, flagpoles, and the industry. I am the first to admit, I was wrong. The value NIFDA has brought me and my company is priceless, from finding new suppliers to connecting with a large dealer network. When faced with a complicated project or obscure product, the resources are invaluable. The flag industry specific education has helped me grow my business in ways I never thought possible. The friendships that developed and grew over the last 11 years have been a pleasant surprise."

Kim Griebling | President, Custom Flag Company

"Carson Mills has been a member of NIFDA for more than 20 years. We are manufacturers of flag nylon, cotton and polyester. Our customers, many of whom have been NIFDA members for as long as we have, benefit from the opportunity to network, learn and depart knowledge to others in the industry. The annual conferences are particularly valuable to business owners who can benefit from the excellent speakers and trainers who are culled from relevant segments of the business world.”

Carol Overman, Carson Mills, Inc.

"Attending our first NIFDA convention changed our business for the better! Before joining NIFDA, we struggled with the common challenges of sourcing, selling, and installing in this niche industry; we felt isolated. At convention, we discovered a community of caring ‘flag people’ who spoke our language and were not just willing, but eager to share their experiences and expertise. We left impressed, inspired, and well connected with the best in the biz. NIFDA introduced us to an incredible network of flagdealers, problem-solvers, needle-movers, and goal-achievers – these are the professionals we contact for advice and support throughout the year and the friends we look forward to seeing at every annual convention."

Stacey & Robert Stewart, Owners of Fly Me Flag

“Since its inception over 30 years ago, NIFDA has been the vehicle the flag dealers of the US have used to exchange ideas on the market, product and resources. It has been especially helpful to the new flag retailers.”
